friction is due to the roughness of surfaces.any process which makes the two surfaces in contact smooth can minimize friction.the methods are:
- by polishing
- by using ball bearing
- by using rollers and wheels
- by streamlining
- by lubricating
- by creating air cushion

In addition to the great answer given by Pop Rivet. Change your oil at the interval as outlined in your owners manual and use a quality oil of the exact weight the manufacture recommends. Also use a quality filter such as Purolator, Wix, Bosch, or manufacture OEM filter. Do not add any so-called engine oil treatment as they are worthless. If you do that your engine will normally last 200,000 miles with no major repairs.
Use the correct motor oil and oil filter that the manufacturer calls for and change it regularly as required.

What if you leave out the thermostat what will it do the car?
your engine will never warm up properly. it will decrease gas mileage. engine will not run right. just get the right thermo, and replace it.
One way to reduce friction in a car engine is to add an?
One of the ways to reduce friction in a car engine is to add an oil lubricant. The oil lubricant can be mineral or synthetic but they help the engine parts to move without too much ware. Another way would be to add an engine oil cooler.
Why does a car stop rolling if you dont press the brakes?
Wheels going over the land have rolling friction. This friction slows down a vehicle. At low speeds, this is the main reason why a car engine is needed to push a car forward. You may have heard of superconductivity. If a superconductor can be created that will work at room temperature, it will be possible to create a vehicle which will operate on tracks without rolling friction. Once set in motion, it will need very little energy to continue moving.
Why wpould you hear a whining noise from your car only when gear engaged and accelerating not while coasting etc not really any noise on deceleration either it is an automatic transmission?
Friction in the transmission system may cause whining noise when a car is accelerating. A poor engine or clutch assembly may cause the excess friction in the transmission system.
What are the Effects of driving car with no oil?
the engine will run hot and eventually it will blow on younot true.. if you have no oil in your engine it will not last long enough to overheat... the force of the pistons moving will cause so much friction, add that to the lack of lubrication and your engine will seize up and never work again...
How can you decrease friction in a car engine?
get the best oil you can find
How does a car increases and decreases friction?
To increase friction, the car goes faster so that the air resistance becomes greater. To decrease friction the car goes slower to decrease the air resistance acting on the car. Hope that helped:)
What is an example of viscous Friction?
oil in a car's engine reduces viscous friction and wear
Does a car run because of the frition or reaction force from the ground is the friction static friction or kinetic friction?
No. the car runs by how much gas you have and how much power your car engine has.
When a car engine running smoothly is friction caused?
Yes. Ideally, it's fluid friction.
How could a race car driver keep the same engine the same forcebut increase the acceleration of the car?
The driver could use different sized tires or reduce the amount of friction.
What is good thing about electric?
The Electric car doesn't cause pollution and will decrease the amount of CO2 in the air and the amount of oil that needs to be drilled. It's cheaper to a electric car then a traditional car. It also has a quieter engine and will lower noise pollution.
When you put oil in a car what are you protecting the engine from what force?
friction
What knid of friction works on a car as it moves?
Friction from the air or wind resistance. Rolling friction of the tires and friction within the engine, transmission, and differential.
How does friction decrease the acceleration of a car?
friction decreases the acceleration of a car by creating a greater force which pushes against the acceleration force. the friction is a force, but more of it means that whatever is pushing against it ( acceleration in this case) is made smaller.
How does a car accelerate speed?
A car accelerates when the engine produces more power than what is needed to overcome friction. The car reaches its maximum speed (on the level) when all the engine power is being used to overcome friction.
What is the Force engine provides the wheels of the car equation?
Thrust or friction
